[quote=Anonymous]There is a balance here. You do want your kid to ignore the phone at times and not be tethered to it. But if he is ignoring you while actively using the phone, that is different. In my mind, the purpose of my kids having phones is so they can reach me, not the other way around. I rarely have an emergency that would require my kids' presence. I am an adult, I handle it. If I communicate a change of plans and they ignore it, then that's natural consequences, they may be stuck waiting somewhere. If he is supposed to communicate with you at certain times (like where he is going) and does not do that, I think grounding or taking away the phone for a period of time is appropriate.[/quote]
